Early Detection of Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity by Echocardiographic Analysis of Myocardial Deformation in 2D Strain
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
It is now accepted that the anticancer properties of anthracyclines were allowed in many malignancies improve the prognosis of affected populations. However, the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines is responsible for an interruption of this treatment by alteration of potentially irreversible myocardial contraction and high mortality. An earlier detection of adverse myocardial anthracycline chemotherapy would allow the adaptation of the regimen by reducing the number of interruptions of antitumor and strengthening monitoring. Optimizing the therapeutic antitumor and generate an increase in survival of patients treated.
